Overview of Leica Captivate Apps
Here is an overview of the most popular Leica Captivate apps that support you for the various measurement tasks in the field.
Alignment editor
Allows road alignments to be manually created which can then be used in the Roads app.
Athletics
Allows an athletes performance in an event to be precisely measured (e.g. the height of the pole vault bar or the length of a Javalin throw, etc.).
Auto Setup
Streamlines the setting up of a total
Base setup
Sets up GNSS base stations easily with configuration tools, position setting, and raw data logging options.
COGO
Offers coordinate geometry tools for quick in-field calculations, including angles, distances, point creation, and shape generation from existing data.
Compaction Control
Allows the compaction of material (such as road construction layers) to be measured.
Determine Coordinate System
Allows WGS84 and grid based coordinates to be matched to compute, create and store a coordinate system.
Disto
Transforms the Leica CS20 into a laser distance meter, allowing slope measurements, area/volume calculations, and storing data with the Disto app.
Find Next Point ID
Allows the next available point ID to be found (useful when using certain ranges of point IDs for certain features).
GS Imaging
Captures images with GNSS RTK rover for measuring points directly or creating point clouds in Leica Infinity.
Hidden Point
Allows points which cannot be directly measured with a total station to be collected using a special hidden point pole.
Hidden Point+
Allows a hidden point to be measured from two other hidden points.
Inspect Surfaces
Measures and analyses surfaces in the field with heatmaps, offset values, 3D visualisation, and automated design comparisons to show surface correctness.
Inventory
Allows the creation of an inventory of items using Leica Captivate measurments enhanced with logic based codes and attributes and the assignment of unique IDs.
Laser Scanning
Enables laser scanning with customisable settings, 3D visualizstion, and point cloud colorisation on-site.
Measure
Collects and visualises survey data with CAD-ready linework, annotations, and a 3D viewer for verification.
Measure foresight
Allows points to be measured which may later be used as control points.
Measure plane/grid
Simplifies measuring points and grids relative to a plane, reporting perpendicular distances and capturing points for modelling.
Measure sets
Allows points to be repeatedly measured with a total station in certain orders and in different faces.
Measure to line
Reports live positions relative to lines, arcs, and slopes with customizable data for precise verification.
Measurement Styles
Allows switching between different predefined measurement settings, so the desired measurment configuration is applied automatically when a style is selected.
Offset+
Takes into account the physical thickness of the prism which can be useful for example when measuring objects such as walls.
Pipeline
Streamlines pipeline surveying with tools for measuring, tracking attributes, and reporting data, saving up to 70% in reporting time.
Pulse
Allows the time at which an electronic pulse is received by a GS25 sensor to be very accurately recorded.
Quick Ground
Allows the creation of a local coordinate system based on common North American methodologies.
Quick Setup
Allows setting a total station's position and orientation in an
Quick Volume
Quickly computes volume calculations from measured points or scanned data, generating results in the field with a simple two-step process.
QuickGrid
Computes local grid coordinates quickly, aligning GNSS sensors using control points, lines, or a single point.
Rail
Provides tools for laying out and measuring rail alignments, ensuring precise staking, and as-built verification for safe railway operations.
Resection Sets
Allows multiple sets of measurmenets to be made durng a resection based Total Station setup.
Roads
Supports road construction and maintenance with tools for staking alignments, slopes, surfaces, quality checks, and as-built verification.
Seismic Stakeout
Allows objects to be staked taking into account possible exclusion zones.
Set Orientation
Allows the orientation of theinstrument to be "reset" at any time while being used.
Stake DTM
Stakes and checks DTM surface data with live height reporting, design point staking, and export options.
Stake line
Provides flexible staking for lines, arcs, and slopes with offsets, distance increments, and grid points.
Stake points
Offers customisable staking, smart 3D navigation, and quality control for accurate and efficient results.
Stakeout Auto Points
An app for total stations which stakes points by iterating the automatic positioning of the total station and using the laser pointer to indicate the correct final location.
Structural Steel
Efficiently stake and check structural steel elements, such as column positions, bolt locations, alignment, and inclination (compliant with European guidelines)
TPS Monitoring
Semi-automates on-site monitoring tasks, schedules measurements, calculates displacements, generates reports, and integrates with GeoMoS for real-time visualisation.
TPS Setup
Positions and orientates total stations easily using control points, lines, or objects with guided setup and feedback.
TPS Survey Streaming
Allows positional and highly accurate timing data to be streamed from a TS/MS instrument.
Traverse
Allows a traverse to be measured and adjusted.
Trig Levels
Allows height measurements from a total station to be recorded.
Tunnel
Specialises in staking out tunnel designs and checking the as-built condition of existing tunnels, helping streamline work on tunnel-specific tasks.
Volume Calc
Creates surfaces from points and performs volume analysis with flexible methods for on-site calculations.
Zenith Line
Assists in the checking the verticality of buildings or other structures.
